The Pink Lady is a cocktail with roots in classic mixology, popularized in various regions of Latin America and Spain. Its name evokes elegance and a delicate tone, and it is characterized by its distinctive pink color, which comes mainly from the grenadine used in its preparation. In countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, this cocktail is known simply as "Pink Lady," although in some regions it may have variations in ingredients or name, depending on local customs and ingredient availability.
The origin of the Pink Lady dates back to the trend of combining sweet and sour flavors with ingredients that provide texture, such as egg white, which gives it a soft and attractive foam. Furthermore, it is one of the drinks that connects the tradition of cocktails with the aesthetics and sophistication of high-end mixology. Despite being simple to prepare, the balance of its ingredients is essential to achieve its characteristic flavor, which has allowed it to remain on the menu of bars and restaurants, especially for celebrations and social gatherings.
